One of these little things that really bugs you when you've spent years chasing things up. I wondered what other people do. Rang to speak to someone about DS1, got the voicemail, left a message asking for specific information. Still waiting for the information.
Mums, how long do you give people before you ring again? Days? Weeks?
Professional ladies, how quickly do you aim to get back to people? I'm a freelance myself, so I ring back ASAP (always that day) as a phonecall normally means an offer of work that I want to grab quickly. DP, on the other hand, is unlikely to get around to phoning back, so will need to be chased up.
